This story is rather weak with the setup...

Every character has similar wordiness thus it makes hard to distinguish from one and another.

Secondly, what would be their motivation to help out beyond the initial rescue? This is AU and if you wish to set up Greengrass' as a pro-Light family which is totally cool, but so far there is no further explanations on why the Greengrass' are continuing to offer their help.

Most damningly, no loving fathers in the history of the world (real and fictional) would entrust happiness of their daughters to an abused individual right off the what, second meeting?

That been said, thank you for sharing your work!

interesting plotline lets see where u go with it

fantastic thank you

Plz write this ff

I'm looking forward to chapter 3! I like how Harry is considering to love potion himself. I hope it is not neccesary. It definately is in Harrys character to do something like that!

This chapter made me lol.
"Daphne dear, as your father, I am thinking of offering you in a betrothal contract to a young man I've never met before, all for the sake of training him to think."
Is he Daphne's father or Harry's? What a load of crap.
Good Day

wonderful first chapter! really like this feisty harry! :)

Good chapter and I can’t wait to see what happens next

Correction:

*How he described his retaliation and didn't once seem concerned for what the force used? *

"... what force he used?"

*... no matter how smart, should be able to figure that out than a genius with over a century of practical knowledge in the field of magic.*

Tweak to: "... no matter how smart, should be able to figure that out while a genius with over a century of practical knowledge in the field of magic cannot.."

*... when Daphne shot up in their seats at the mention of Sirius Black actually being innocent.*

Either:
"when Daphne and Astoria shot up in their seats at the mention of Sirius Black actually being innocent"

Or:
"when Daphne shot up in her seat at the mention of Sirius Black actually being innocent."

It's either a plural or singular, not both at the same time.

*... according to the Lord Greengrass. *

Nuke "the". Not really necessary in that sentence.

Comments:

- Lies and Tells
And how well would this skill to detect lies stand up vs a high functioning sociopath?

Their brains don't exactly work like a regular person, as such physical tells won't be identical either.

And considering canon Harry's background, even with JKR backpedaling and trying to retcon things, it's merely authorial plot armour that has him not be one or an obscurial for that matter. (How would a person know what love is, when in their early formative tears they're only exposed to hate and apathy? That's not how psychological development works.)

Fairly clear she has no clue on the effects of long term abuse or the varying "tells" they leave behind in the victim's' behaviour.

Canon Harry shows all the tells of physical, mental and emotional abuse, as well as massive amounts of neglect.

His "heroism" is fuelled by a desire for acceptance and that if he pleases others enough, that they'll love him.

Even when he should be telling people to f*ck off, he's simply incapable of that due to mental molding.

Toss in a variant of Stockholm Syndrome that offers the BWW as an escape from the Dursleys and large amounts of PTSD and other traumas.

Yeah, Harry is no Frodo doing the right thing because it's the right thing. Well, it's not his only motivation anyway.

And mind you, this is just canon Harry. Not the person he should actually be, if JKR actually understood psychology, after all the crap he's suffered through.

Which is one of the reasons why I outright reject her claims that Dumbledore is a Gandalf/Arslan analogue.

Facts provided in her works do NOT support that assertion. He's closer to a Saruman of Many Colours/Sharkey in his behaviour.

But that's a rant for another day. ;-P

- Timeline
*And Sirius Black wasn't declared guilty until two days later so technically, as godfather, he still had primary custody.*

Gets worse actually.

31st October: Potters attacked.

2nd of November post midnight, Harry is dumped at the Dursleys. (Complaints about the fireworks and Owl Swarms on the previous day, so this must be the 2nd.)

5th of November: Longbottoms attacked.

7th or 8th of November, think it was the latter. Sirius Black "caught" after the Pettigrew confrontation leads to a mental breakdown and gets shoved into Azkaban without trial.

Meaning Harry was placed illegally by someone with no legal authority to do so, while his primary and secondary guardians were still available.

And that doesn't even explore the possibilities of alternates like the Tonks family, which mirrored the Potters in their status background. 1 Pure Blood and 1 New Blood parent with a Half Blood offspring.

And they would've been known to the Potters as some of the few relatives that Sirius actually likes and thus guardian material, especially as they already have a kid.

And the odds of the Potters NOT having left Wills (a combined will is not legal in the UK, unlike the US, so both James and Lily would've had one) is so bloody unlikely, considering the social environment...

Well, the odds of someone creating a fully functional cold fusion reactor on the 10th of March 2019 is more likely, than them going: "Oh we don't need Wills, everything will be fine, because Dumbledore said so."

Yet no mention of them in canon. Whereas Sirius Will was mentioned. Something doesn't add up. Oh sure, probably just another JKR oversight, but that's meta knowledge, not an in universe explanation of their absence.

Correction:

*... and then slammed the mallet into my cousin's knee.*

"bat" not "mallet". Even "club"would work better, as it would reference the actual weapon vs the sports tool.

As "mallet" is just plain incorrect. You use a "mallet" for croquette, not cricket. Two very different sports.

Croquette has more in common with golf. While Cricket is related to base- and softball as well as related games like rounders.

loving this story so far

Are you going to have Harry potion himself?

This does sound more like Dumbledore's plans and actions.
This also sounds like something Harry would think about doing. Let's hope Daphne will talk Harry out of his foolish idea.

Please write the next chapter already. Thank you very much. I really appreciated it and liked it a lot.

LOL this is some edgy nonsense. Lord Potter-Black-Edge lmao.
